I am using fedora 37 with
kernel version 6.2.9
.
Some of the applications like gnome-terminal
and gnome software store
when launched from the Dash
in gnome-shell
are not focused i.e. they are not being auto-focused
.
But when they are launched from other way like by gnome search they are working as expected and being auto-focused
.
Other applications are working fine even if they are launched from the Dash
.
Another thing is that when some other application is opened for example Firefox
or nautilus
then launching gnome-terminal
or gnome software store
works as expected and are auto-focused
.
I tried setting gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-new-windows 'smart'
, but it makes no difference.
This problem started showing after the last update which includes updating the kernel from 6.1.18
to 6.2.9
, updating mutter
and nvidia
driver update.
**UPDATE**
I installed console
application which is also a terminal emulator by gnome project. It is also showing the same issue as gnome-terminal
and gnome software store
.
I think the applications which use the shell directly or in background, are showing this kind of issues.
